Chapter 2246 A Spatial Terrarium
Chapter 2246 A Spatial Terrarium
The Crown Princess's goal upon leaving her empire had been to find a herb that was not present in their herbarium and could be cultivated to improve their own skills. There weren't many such herbs that fell in this category, as the Great Shang Dynasty had several of them.
The Crown princess had encountered such herbs on her time in the Immortal Court before, but they hadn't been the ones that could be cultivated. As such, even if she collected them, the goal itself wouldn't be fulfilled.
But now that she had an opportunity to get the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus, she was happy to get even a cutting.
She had never thought that Lin Mu would take that several steps further and not only bring an intact living Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus, but entire THREE of them.
"If you don't have a place to keep them, I can keep them with me, too." Lin Mu offered, thinking that it might not be convenient for her.
"No!" Crown Princess Shang said out loud. "I do have something!" She quickly said, showing that she had merely been stunned by his words before.
~SHUA~
She quickly took out an object from her spatial storage tool.
Lin Mu looked at it, and observed it to be a Bell Jar. He could see several small plants growing in the Bell Jar and it looked rather beautiful and elegant.
"Oh?" But a moment later, he felt the unique fluctuations that were coming from it and recognized just what it was. "A Spatial Terrarium?" "Yes!" Crown Princes Shang nodded.
A Spatial Terrarium was also a Spatial Storage tool, but it had the specific use of storing living herbs and plants inside it. In a way, it was similar to a Beast Storage Tool, but had more functions, such as being able to adjust the climate and other conditions to make it perfect for a plant to live inside.
In fact, the better the rank and quality of the Spatial Terrarium, the more types of plants it could accommodate within it while also having individual habitats for them. They were harder to make than Normal Spatial Tool, especially ones that could be stored in other Spatial Tools.
It was common knowledge that one Spatial Tool couldn't be stored inside another Spatial tool. But this was a bit more nuanced, as there were other conditions to it.
As a Spatial and Formation Master, Lin Mu knew the exact reasoning behind it which was the conflict between the Minor Voids that were created by them. If a person put one Spatial Tool Inside another Spatial Tool, the minor voids would intersect, leading to a conflict.
Normally, the Spatial Storage tool would simply not enter another, but if one forced it, the space inside them would collide in the void and the tools would break apart. The only way to overcome this was to make a Spatial Storage tool of a higher grade.
Such Spatial Tools could accommodate other 'minor voids' within them by isolating their segment of the void inside a bubble and containing them. But there were cases where a higher grade Spatial Tool might haw to be put inside an equal or lower grade Spatial Tool. Such as in the case of a Spatial Terrarium. Spatial Terrariums, by the virtue of the difficulty of creating them, put them in high grade immortal tools category. As such, one would either have to put them in a Peak Grade Spatial Storage tool, which was obviously not accessible nor affordable to most, or use a Spatial Storage too fol the equal level. The latter was possible for several, but that still didn't mean they could put it there.
And simply carrying them on person would be inconvenient and cumbersome, due to how big they were and also their shape. Unlike normal Spatial Storage tools that were made into the shape of various accessories and ornaments, a Spatial Terrarium had more 'functional' shapes, representative of a normal terrarium.
Then there was the factor of security, too.
Carrying an expensive Spatial Terrarium on person with herbs inside it would be a sure shot way of calling attention to oneself and opening up to people who would desire it.
Other than a few cases where it could be transported in some carriage or other vehicle, it was imperative to ensure its privacy.
As such, the Spatial Terrariums would have to be further modified so that they could at least be stored inside other Spatial Storage tools of the same level.
Lin Mu had studied about them and Xukong had told him quite a lot about them too. He had been interested in them, but due to how rare they were in most cases, he hadn't seen one. But finally he was getting to observe one in person.
"It's a High Grade Spatial Terrarium too." Lin Mu spoke. "You already seem to have some herbs inside it too." He could see the plants.
"Yeah, they're the other herbs and plants I gathered." Crown Princess Shang replied. "But there's still a lot of space left inside. So I think it should be good enough to keep the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotuses inside." She added.
"Alright. Though you should prepare a secured region for them inside the Spatial Terrarium first. I've kept the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotuses in the same lake water they grew in, so there are a lot of Murkwater Qi and other Baleful energies mixed in it." Lin Mu explained.
"Ah, that won't be a problem." Crown Princess Shang stated before putting the Spatial Terrarium down.
~SHUA~
She made a handseal before the Bell Jar started to grow. It rapidly reached the size of a small house, and a glass door also appeared on its side.
"Come on in." Crown Princess Shang invited.
"Alright." Lin Mu was quite intrigued by it and the same could be said for the others.
All of them entered the bell jar and looked around, finding the area inside to be much bigger than the outside. Inside, the group could see what was basically a widespread jungle. "This should be at least a couple kilometers in size." Qiao De was impressed by it. "Our branch of the black Candle pavilion once had a Spatial Terrarium for sale, but it was much smaller than this." He recalled.
"Mm… Something of this level will easily sell for fifty to sixty million Immortal Stones." Lady Kang judged. "This one seems to have been further modified too." She could sense the arrays inside the bell jar.
"You're correct." Crown Princess Shang replied. "The Imperial Formation masters of the Shang Dynasty personally modified this according to my specifications. There are multiple habitats inside here. The one you're seeing right now isn't the entirety of it." She explained.
Lin Mu had already known this as his Spatial Perception, could see through it all.
'At least eight such divisions… Four of them are 'filled' the other four are empty.' Lin Mu observed.
Ziran saw the plants and found them to be rather rare too.
"A Lampshoot Hydrangea and a Princess Glamor Rose?" the half elf glanced at the flowers that looked like a bunch of tiny lamps, and a stunning rose that had petals that looked like the face of a beautiful woman.
The first was a Light Elemental immortal herb that was only found in worlds with rich Light Elemental Qi and the second was a unique herb that was said to only grow in the presence of beautiful women.
Both herbs had unique conditions to grow, with the latter being a bit too 'special. The princess Glamor Rose was only able to live if it was in the presence of a beautiful woman. As such the number of people who could grow and take care of one was limited to only a few female cultivators.
It was even said to grow stronger if it was in the presence of a greater beauty.
"I got these a while back." Crown princess Shang stated. "They're nice aren't they?" she asked.
"They sure are." Ziran replied. "How did you maintain the Light field necessary for the Lampshoot Hydrangea though?" he wondered. "I buried a few High Grade Luminescent Pearls here." Crown Princess Shang answered before lightly waving her hand.
The soil moved upon her gesture, and shining pearls were revealed.
"WHOA!" Qiao De's jaws dropped as he saw a very valuable item being kept in the soil like some common rock. They were basically the same as gemstones and could sell for a lot. The bigger one was, the more it would sell for, and Qiao De himself had overseen the auction of many Luminescent Pearls before.
It just made him think that the Crown Princess was really indulgent in her work.
~Rustle~
But as they for closer, they saw the Princess Glamor Rose move. ~wuwuwu~
The entire plant shook and leaned towards a certain person.
Its petals opened up fully and they seemed to be 'ogling' at the person.
~chuckle~
Crown Prince Feng Shun and Crown Princess Shang couldn't help but chuckle seeing the seen. Lady Kang who was being ogled by the flower couldn't help but raise her brows. "That's the first time I'm seeing it act like that after coming in my ownership. Guess Lady Kang has earned its approval." Crown Princess Shang laughed.
"I suppose that's a compliment." Lin Mu muttered.
"A big one." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke. "Many women fight to get the approval of a Princess Glamor Rose. It is a testament of their beauty and a mark of approval." He explained.
